Alright, s...
In an attempt to separate real fans from the majority of Lakers/Yankees/Cowboys fans, I will be auditing the fanhood of the posters within this forum.
It's going to get ugly this season and if I'm going to get doodied on, I'd like to know that I'm at least being doodied on by a legitimate fan.
It's a very simple process. I'd like to see:
1) The NFL team(s)* you root for
2) The reasons you root for said team(s)
*There are some instances, such as being molested as a child, that would make it perfectly acceptable to be a die-hard fan of two teams.
It can be difficult to draw a defining line when determining legitimate fanhood vs. illegitimate fanhood, so I will use my Solomon like judgment to make fair assessments.
There are times when someone grows up so far from an NFL market, they just have to pick a team. Fair enough. I will take that into account. There are times when someone grows up in an NFL market and roots for a team across the country. I'd like to know the reasons for your fanhood. I'm interested to find out how someone who has lived in Texas their entire life (JT) became such a die-hard Colts fan. There are many acceptable explanations. Having a dad who rooted for that team can sometimes be acceptable, but other times it just means your old man was a pussy bandwagoneer just like you.
So... let's talk about it guys

Tbh my dad was a redskins fan cause he was from DC so growing up in Dallas it was hard to be a Cowboys fan when your father hated them. I'm a cowboys fan only cause I grew up in this area and get to see more of their games than anyone else's. It sucks though and I've been thinking about just being a Texans fan because as it is right now, Im loosely considered a cowboy fan. I just don't wanna be a bandwagoning stick
^City of Dallas won't miss you
Obviously the Arizona Cardinals.
I root for them so I can help my fellow Arizonans keep their jobs because I watch every home game in the stadium and buy food and drinks and gear there.
*11-5 this season TBH
I'm kidding tbh about the texans part
Real Fans so far:
That Lincoln
Lincoln's dad
Pawe
And I already know Bump is one of the Jerry Gang through-n-through
He types like koriwhat
I'm not really a fan of any team. I grew up in dat realist place only known as da sa town so I have no team. In dat city you pick a team young and stick wit it. My oldest bro has dem Broncos, my others have the Seahawks & Chargers respectively. Pops is a Fins fan. I'm undecided.
I'm a Cowboys fan. Been one since the day I was born. First t-shirt I ever got came from my grandfather and it had the star on it. I was raised watching games, and still watch them every week to this day. My grandfather, who passed away last year was the biggest Cowboys fan I've ever met, and he had me going the same way. I cheered them through 1-15, and through 3 Super Bowls, and I'll cheer them till the day I die. I have other teams I like...but the only team I cheer for is the Cowboys, and anybody playing the Eagles, Giants, or Redskins. True Blue.
This is gnsf esque
It is what it is..real talk. Like I've said before, I don't care what people say about me. He asked about why we're fans..I gave it..
This is gnsf esque
Tbh not trolling but how did you know you were a cowboys fan on day one? I didn't even understand football completely till I was 8 tbh
I don't consider that trolling. I guess I didn't truly KNOW I was a fan. I was raised watching them, and everyone in my family was huge Cowboys fans...it just came with the territory, and I wasn't a non-conformist or anything. Plus, it was really cool to watch a team go from 1-15 to a dominating performance in the SuperBowl a few years later. I was heartbroken in '89...really made '93 a more memorable season for me. The Cowboys were my first team I really cheered for. Spurs were the second, the year David Robinson started.
Well, I guess i'll cooperate with the OP. My fanhood is pretty complicated so try and follow along.
I root for all Dallas teams because I'm from the area. I root for Texas Tech because i go there
Hope you guys got all that
This is how it's done in a city where you don't have a damn team. My brother is a Texan/Oiler fan, other brother is Dolphins fan, and I was a Bronco fan during Elway era but moved to being a Cowboys fan, I had to keep it regional playa. Though I became a Cowboys fan AFTER their super bowl wins, no front running here.
I root for the Cowboys to win because when they lose, Dallas sports radio the following day becomes unbearable.
1.) Cleveland Browns
2.)
a.) I grew up in the Cleveland area.
b.) My parents and grandparents on both sides are/were Browns fans.
c.) My older brother made me. When I was a little kid I wanted to be an L.A. Raiders fan because they had guys like Marcus Allen and Howie Long and the Browns sucked. My older brother put an end to that in a hurry.
When I found myself getting pissed over Browns losses (including a last-second loss to the Raiders in '85) I knew I was hooked.
Tbh, I respect the out of fans that root for ass teams. I genuinely respect Texans fans. They picked a team and stuck with it. So what if that mickey mouse organization will never win , it's the journey that counts.
For what it's worth, I think 90210 is so emotional he'll always root for the cowboys even if they never win anything again. I think his emotional instability would lead to problems IRL, but he'd keep rooting anyway.
Also, it bothers me that DPG isn't a cowboys fan. He'd be a good addition to a fanbase inundated with fair-weather fans who just happen to also "love" the lakers and Yankees.
Your brother is an honorable man. He taught you well. As a Browns fan, you take your lickings like a man.
Im a redskins fan from San Antonio, everyone in my family is a redskin fan because there high school logo was the redskin logo(harlandale), but none of them probably know one player that plays on the team lol, my dad is a cowboys fan though, but oddly San Antonio has huge Redskin, and Bears, and of course Steelers fan bases. I was a huge Darrel Green fan growing up his speed was something of amaze, which influenced me to play cornerback in high school, and I always liked the redskins logo, and colors also caught my eye growing up. I have family ties in Maryland also.
bump do u graduate this yr?
i may transfer next yr imo
rememba det one time where i was almost your understudy at texas tech?great in dream that didnt pan out
In the process of looking for a new team
Born in Boston, grew up in Lynn, so... pretty obvious.
